Security uses Exchange
Connector to communicate with the Microsoft Exchange server, detects all the
mobile devices that use Exchange ActiveSync service, and displays them on Mobile Security web console.
The Microsoft Exchange server Integration with Mobile Security enables the
administrators to monitor the mobile devices that access the Microsoft Exchange
server. Once the feature is enabled and configured, Mobile Security administrators can
perform Remote Wipe and block the access to the Microsoft Exchange server for such
mobile devices.
The integration of Microsoft Exchange server with Mobile Security also enables the
administrators to control the user access to cooperate data (such as, emails,
calendar, contacts, and so on).

The Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) is a communication protocol
that provides a networked front end to a private certificate authority.
In some environments, it is important to make sure that corporate settings and
policies are protected from prying eyes. To provide this protection, iOS allows
you to encrypt profiles so that they can be read only by a single device. An
encrypted profile is just like a normal configuration profile except that the
configuration profile payload is encrypted with the public key associated with the
device’s X.509 identity.
The SCEP works with the Certificate Authority to issue certificates in large
enterprises. It handles the issuing and revocation of digital certificates. The
SCEP and Certificate Authority can be installed on the same server.
